Head Coach - Jessica Keith

Jessica Keith may be entering her first season as head coach of the NTCC Eagles softball team, but she is no stranger to the school. Keith played third base for the
Eagles in 1998 and 1999. She has been the head coach at Ranger College
for the past nine years and served as an assistant for two years prior.

After playing at NTCC for two years, Keith transferred to the
University of Louisiana at Monroe, where she continued to play ball
competitively. This included playing four summers overseas in England,
France, Holland and Germany. She later completed her bachelor’s degree
at Tarleton State University and began her career in coaching. She is a
native of Eastland, Texas, which is near Ranger.

”Softball is just in my blood. I loved the game when I was a
player and I try to share that love with the girls I coach. We are going
to have a great time this year and I can’t wait to get started,” Keith
said.

Keith led her Ranger team to win its conference in 2012. Four of her players have committed to join her at NTCC this year.

Keith was hired after former head coach Jay Terry accepted
another position. She will be assisted by Kayla King, who has been the
assistant coach at NTCC for three years.
